BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Based on its recent analysis of the security information and event management/log management (SIEM/LM) market, Frost & Sullivan has recognized LogRhythm with the Enabling Technology Leadership Award in the SIEM/Log Management (LM) industry. LogRhythm earned this honor by scoring better than the competition when evaluated for technology leverage and customer impact, the criteria applied by Frost & Sullivan analysts.

“Frost & Sullivan’s distinction, for the third year in a row, validates that organizations striving to improve their cyber threat detection and response capabilities turn to LogRhythm”

According to the report describing the award and the evaluation against the competition, LogRhythm showed superiority in commitment to innovation and creativity; success in taking new technology solutions to market; efficiency in managing new solution innovations; and application diversity. For customer impact, LogRhythm finished first in brand equity; customer service experience; price/performance value; customer purchase experience; and customer ownership experience.

The report further explained how enterprises purchase the LogRhythm SIEM for its combination of strong analytics and compliance and auditing platforms. The LogRhythm SIEM architecture treats each SIEM function as an integrated process and can perform over multiple locations due to its excellent scalability. Search and Intelligent Indexing are interconnected, and advanced correlation includes visibility of all network infrastructure and end-use devices. The report also commended how LogRhythm’s ability to transition between SIEM functions directly affects the mean-time-to-detect and mean-time-to-respond to cyber threats.

“To achieve enabling technology leadership is never an easy task, but it is one made even more difficult due to today’s competitive intensity, customer volatility and economic uncertainty—not to mention the difficulty of innovating in an environment of escalating challenges to intellectual property,” said Chris Kissel, industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Within this context, LogRhythm’s award signifies an even greater accomplishment as the company has achieved excellence in technology and customer loyalty and experience within a critical technology market. SIEM technologies have become an integral part of the post-breach incident response process.”

“Frost & Sullivan’s distinction, for the third year in a row, validates that organizations striving to improve their cyber threat detection and response capabilities turn to LogRhythm,” said Mike Reagan, chief marketing officer of LogRhythm. “The award also highlights LogRhythm’s ongoing commitment to innovation to help our customers continuously improve their ability to detect, respond to and neutralize cyber threats before they cause damage.”

LogRhythm was acknowledged for the fourth time as a leader in the SIEM in the Magin Quadrant report by Gartner, sharing this title with four other SIEM Products. The security information and event management (SIEM) market is defined by the customer’s need to apply security analytics to event data in real time for the early detection of targeted attacks and data breaches, and to collect, store, analyze and report on log data for incident response, forensics and regulatory compliance.

According to the report: LogRhythm is an especially good fit for organizations that require an integrated combination of SIEM, endpoint and network monitoring capabilities, and those organizations that value ease of deployment and predefined function over a “build your own” approach to monitoring.

The average of LogRhythm reference customers satisfaction scores for scalability and performance, effectiveness of predefined rules, usefulness of predefined reports, ease of use and effectiveness of predefined queries, product quality and stability, and support experience support is higher than the average scores for all reference customers in those areas.

LogRhythm continues to be very visible in the competitive SIEM technology evaluations of Gartner clients.

Sophos was recently identified as one of the leaders in the UTM Magic Quadrant, along with Fortinet and Checkpoint. Gartner defines the unified threat management (UTM) market as multifunction network security products used by small or midsize businesses (SMBs).

Amongst its strengths Gartner identified:

Sophos’ SG UTM series’ ease of use consistently rates high. The interface contains general guidance on what each feature does, which is useful for SMB operators, who are not all security experts.

Sophos has good endpoint integration, allowing the firewall to push wireless and VPN policies for mobile devices, and can also restrict access to wireless networks for noncompliant mobile devices.

Sophos SG UTM series support is available in a variety of European languages, and its local presales and support presence receives positive scores from Gartner customers.
